BAPTISM

The church encourages people to have their children baptised within the first weeks after birth. For several years now we have invited parents to have their babies baptised as part of a group on the first and third Sundays of each month.

The sacrament of baptism brings us into a new relationship with God in Christ. We become his adopted children and members of the body of Christ; his Church. We share in Christ’s great gift to his Church; the Holy Spirit. Baptism is a celebration of entry into the Church with washing away of original sin and a new hope that we share in the promise of eternal life with God.
